Trust me. The Obama administration will improve American health care.
The number of doctors refusing new Medicare patients because of low government payment rates is setting a new high, just six months before millions of Baby Boomers begin enrolling in the government health care program.
Recent surveys by national and state medical societies have found more doctors limiting Medicare patients, partly because Congress has failed to stop an automatic 21% cut in payments that doctors already regard as too low. The cut went into effect Friday, even as the Senate approved a six-month reprieve. The House has approved a different bill.
Just wait till further Medicare cuts are imposed in response to burgeoning health care cost increases.
Oh, well. Who needs doctors anyway?!

We were able to put our daughter back on our healthcare today. She got her postgraduate degree last year and was without insurance. Thank God for Obamacare.

Yes! Thank god for Obamacare. My nephew had brain cancer and was about to fall off of his parents insurance because of age restrictions. He would have a pre-existing condition in the eyes of insurance companies. Unfortunately he died before they really had to tackle this problem. Obama's healthcare reform would have given them peace of mind, knowing that pre-existing conditons could not stop someone from getting decent healthcare.
